FAQ

Selling Out Soon finds worthwhile yet endangered products, hand-picked and offered for one last moment, before they stop existing forever.

We focus exclusively on items that will be hard to get in the near future, seeking to give buyers another chance to get them before they're gone for the rest of time - as we know it. We exist to create opportunity amongst buyers for stock most likely to be at risk of becoming permanently unavailable.

Brand new, all the time, unless we tell you otherwise. You can rely on us to be very clear about the condition of the item you're buying. Because we focus on the cross-section between what's both selling out soon and what is desirable, the age of stock can vary from quite recent, through to older stock, some of which is exceedingly rare.

Please note: what is desirable may mean different things to different people, and we're cool with that. So if you're into Furry Rainbow: Friends of The Unicorn, or Chronic Arse-Slayer of Dementure, sift through and find something you like. Wait, that was fun. How about: Ball Slingers: Nuts in Space, or Harry Buttcrack and the Giant Candy Cane of Wrath. OK, time to stop.

Importantly -- especially when there are several options available to buy the same item -- we are careful to spell out the difference as completely as possible, so buyers are well-informed and know exactly what they'll get. You'll also notice that we make small but significant changes over time, in an effort to improve how things are done. This means you'll see new ways of showing information on this site, in an effort to make things as easy to understand as possible. If you have ideas about how we can get better results for people just like you, please contact us because we're listening...

Is Furry Rainbow: Friends of the Unicorn a real game?

Not that we know of.

Do I get warranty?

Yes. Because our items are authorised, everything we sell is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, the same as if you bought the same item in a major retail store. Australia has very specific laws about warranty. You can read about laws relating to warranty and fair trading at the Department of Fair Trading website. Here at Selling Out Soon we may offer more than we're required to by law, in the interest of serving you better.

Are games the Australian version?

Yes. Unless we specifically say so. And even if they aren't, they're absolutely 100% compatible, but read below about DLC (downloadable content).

Hang on, are these really Australian version, or are they just PAL ones from some other territory, that work in Australia? And does it matter?

Good question. Some people don't care, or don't know the difference, but usually people who ask this question do care, and so we feel it is necessary to give you a complete answer.

Nearly all of our items are the official Australian version. We're proud to offer some rather competitive prices for Aussie stock! And when we say Australian, we actually mean officially distributed product, with an Aussie barcode and slick, not an import. If we tell you it's an import, it will most likely be a European version or at the very least a version which will work on devices which are officially sold in Australia. Our games are always the correct version for use on Australian (PAL) consoles.

Australian Version means: actually Australian, with Aussie barcode and slick (paper in plastic sleeve of box).

DLC: Australian items which have DLC (downloadable content) will not have any issues if the server that determines and/or administers such content is region-controlled. They usually are, and some players get justifiably annoyed if they cannot use the DLC if they are supplied with an overseas game, passed off as an "Australian version" in which case it is compatible but region-control may prevent them from downloading the content. So we make sure we don't do that. So if we say Australian Version, you can be sure it actually is. If we say PAL (Euro, but 100% Aussie compatible) this means the game will work on an Australian console but you may miss out on region-controlled DLC, unless you're clever enough to use a non-local VPN or some other way of obfuscating the region control.

Is there always an Australian version of every game?

No. If there isn't or for some other reason, we will supply a PAL version, with PAL (Euro, but 100% Aussie compatible) as part of the description.

If there is no DLC, then what's the difference?

For most people, nothing. For collectors, perhaps a little more, or perhaps everything!

Do game manufacturers always factory-seal their games?

No, although this is often misunderstood. It differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. We supply games sealed if we receive them that way, or in some instances, if we manufacture them that way. If we manufacture games, they will be either built specifically for us, or made under licence for us, and in these cases we will determine if the game is to be factory-sealed (shrink-wrapped) or not. In any case, all our items are brand new. We have no access to anything else.

Are all items from Selling Out Soon original?

Yes. We only sell genuine items.

Is pickup available?

For wholesale customers, by prior arrangement. Pickup via courier only, at applicable warehouse, not service centre. Minimum order $2,000 or 2 pallets. However, because we are set up for direct delivery, this is by far the most efficient method. Subject to the above, if you still prefer to pick up, please get in touch.

Why can't I find the item you're selling anywhere else?

Most likely because it is selling out soon! We put a lot of effort into finding out what is most likely to sell out, and while we by no means sell every title and/or item available, we aim to make as many people as we can happy that they've found us.

How do we choose our products? (Why it's no longer only video games and collectibles)

This is a very simple question with an increasingly complex answer. Not because it is intrinsically complex, but because people vary, our customers are widespread, that creates further complexity, and we respect that. So we aim to hold true to certain big ideas. Generally, our products will be the conflation (embodiment of a cross-section of intent) of three main ideals:

(1) Well-regarded Brands harking anywhere from niche manufacturers through to industrial behemoths, whereby we can provide some sort of advantage to buyers, often price, but at other times just having the product at all is a major benefit, especially if without Selling Out Soon the product won't exist.
